I am looking for flat storage boxes either white or transparent that will hold 12 x 12 paper. I don't want the storage totes, but rather a box that can have a label on it. I have googled, but couldn't find it. I thought cropper hopper would have one but didn't see it, and the memory dock ones don't come in white.
Any suggestions?
I am getting a whole new shelving system from the container store tomorrow (I actually chose it 10 days ago, but they had one back ordered piece!), they now have free standing Elfa and I want to get boxes. The container store boxes are much bigger than 12 x 12 so they won't work either.
I saw some at Michael's and Archivers yesterday. Almost bought one to store my dp scraps in as the shoe box I was using isn't very attractive. LOL! I ended up instead using my coupon to buy a Martha Stewart paper box in chocolate brown. Yummy! But it's not very deep so I'm going to buy another one to store just Christmas paper scraps in. The clear plastic ones are a few inches deep and would hold more.
Yeah, I think Michael's has them and I also think they're the cheapest place to get them, especially vs. Archiver's. But I think Archiver's has different colors and Michael's are just clear. Good luck, and I'm jealous of your new system from the Container Store! I love that place!
I was sooo bummed when I couldn't take it home with me last week, but it did give me some time to plan out what I am actually going to use it for. I basically duplicated the "communication center" on the website, at a length of 4 feet, currently I am just setting up one side of it, and then at a later date I can do the other side if I want.
I was just at Hobby Lobby today and they have 12x12 clear containers that have a lid. They were $7.99 each, very nice waiting for my next trip over to grab a few.
Well my idea isn't as nice....but it is free! I got medium pizza boxes just for asking for a few...then paint them whatever color you want! they fit the 12x12 paper and are great for set up boxes...ie stacking in the paper stickers/embellishments and photos for scrapping away from home...just a thought and it leaves more money for the fun toys!
Four boxes for $15, includes two dividers. They come flat and are very easy to put together. They are sturdy enough that I stack four filled with paper (so they are heavy) and they do not buckle or give way.
OTC also has the vertical storage for paper if you prefer that.
Hope that helps.

My Wal-Mart has the 14x14 white cardboard storage boxes like the smaller photo boxes. They are $4.97 each and have a small metal label holder on the front. I have started buying those and the photo boxes to store items in so the boxes are all similar sizes on my shelves.

If you're into practicality, I'd go with this one. I had all my 12x12 paper stored here when we moved from Japan to the US. And it worked really great!

LOL! This is what I was going to say...

Michaels sells some clear boxes, dont remember the brand. But they are really nice. I think they are regular $8, bought mine when they were on sale in November. Check out the scrapbook storage section at Michaels.

I got these same ones, and they are very sturdy and I love them.

Please post some pics when you have it all set up! Would love to see your new system. Congrats!!!
I will try Wal Mart and I have a friend who can check Hobby Lobby.
I set the system up this weekend, and I do have to make a second trip to the Container Store as I am changing the system around a little, but i Love IT and, since DH was out of town, as I was thrilled that I was able to assemble it completely by myself. Pics soon.
